Plug Fouling Mama here ...
Why is the right carb (Kadrons) really cold and there are water droplets near the base where the carb goes in to the manifold after a 5 mile trip at 55 mph?

Im thinking the throtle plate isnt opening all the way. Sweaty carbs or intakes usualy means a restriction in the air flow, much like the way your AC works. High presure through a small opening released into a low presure or open area will cause cooling of the low presure area. In your case the carb/intake.
It's EASY.... if you know how.

Probably just this 99% humidity we're having, never noticed it before.

I thought only we on the Gulf Coast had that kind of humidity. :roll:

Yeah, but I think part of the Gulf coast is in our backyard right now! Was at a 59th B-day party last night (not mine!) and a couple of us lightweights had to move out of the breeze cause it was chilly? Sure felt good for a while though.

Let me throw this out there... HOW ARE YOU GUYS SYNCRONIZING YOUR KADRON CARBS?

Hey Brian:
Thanks for the shout.
Yep, I've read every word at A.Js at least three times - okay yeah, I'm hard-headed, so what's your point.
Did read a couple of really good blogs today that I haven't seen/heard before and will shoot the links out to everyone interested AFTER I give it a try.
It's rainin big time in Seguin around 5:00 p.m.! Not doing any runs in the buggy tonight, that's for sure!
